Chapter 124 Element of Darkness

I sorted out all the cards I drew and looked at what was left.

[Class S] [Heart of Demon]

[S rank] [Respond to summon]

[Class A] [Soul Stone]

The demon’s heart and the S-grade skill card were the biggest challenges.

I had to know how to use demonic skills, and I didn’t know how to use the demon’s heart.

“Gilliant, do you need more of this?”

“As for the ingredients, Gordon’s heart was enough. I don’t need more.”

Gordon’s heart went into making the suit.

Gillian glared at his heart for a long time before speaking.

“There is a place to use the heart, but it is too dangerous.”

“What?”

Now, I needed a means to defeat the Demon King.

“Absorbing the heart.”

“Absorb the heart?”

“You’ll remember that your second trait is influenced by my heart, right?”

“Yeah, I remember.”

As a result of reuniting with Gilliant and putting our heads together, it was concluded that my two characteristics were due to the influence of the regression process.

no way.

“You mean the item called the heart basically has the power of the Awakening Stone?”

“Yes. The stronger the owner of that heart, the greater the influence.”

“Absorbing the heart of a demon and using it as my own?”

“But, as I said before, it is too risky a gamble. Because your strength stands on the stark opposite of Magi.”

Surely that was right.

However, there was nothing I couldn’t try.

“Maybe it’s not the other side?”

“what? what are you talking about? Your strength is the opposite of that of the demons.”

“I am not using divine power. And isn’t Magi also part of the world?”

“but… … .”

Gillian, who was deep in thought after hearing my words, raised his head and shouted with a surprised face.

“Hey, why didn’t I think of that? Seojun, you are right.”

Elementalists have the power to manipulate the five elements, the basic elements that make up the world.

Magi was just one of the energies of the corrupted world in Mana, never on the other side.

Rather, it was contained in the power of the elements.

“Am I right?”

This question was a question to the elements.

[Yes, what you think is correct. Magi is also one of the elements that make up the world. However, we are the most basic element of such a component. All forces are in balance.]

After hearing the explanation given by the element of light, I was convinced.

balance of power.

that was the key

Just look at the five elements.

Fire is opposite to water, and water is opposite to earth.

All powers have such a polarity.

Of course, there are also things that go well together.

Like fire and wind, or water and earth.

And the element of light makes all of these things come together in balance.

The skill that uses that principle was elemental fusion.

By the way, would the balance be broken by adding one demonic energy, the opposite of the element of light here?

“Did you ask them to use you appropriately?”

It was a request from the elements.

[Yes, you seem to have found the answer.]

I found the answer.

I lifted Garcian’s heart.

From noble mtl dot com

No one taught me, but I seemed to know how to use it.

After injecting mana, dark demonic energy flowed out of his heart and began to envelop his entire body.

“Keugh!”

A tingling feeling ran through his body.

It feels like thousands of bugs crawling around.

And the whole world went dark.

dark space.

I couldn’t hear Gilliant’s presence or the voices of the other elements.

Then, a low voice was heard.

[Are you human?]

“Who are you?”

[I am the darkness itself, Zophos (ζόφος).]

“A dark element?”

[hmm? You are the master of the elements.]

“I am Elementalist Seojun Yoo.”

When I said my name, a part of the dark space lit up and a dark blue flame flickered.

It was like someone’s eyes were on fire.

[Is the person chosen by the five elements reaching out to me?]

“Asmodians are trying to invade the world I live in. To defeat the Demon King, you need strength.”

no need to look around

When I told him honestly what I wanted, Zofors, the dark element, started laughing.

[ha ha ha. you need strength Reach out to the darkness, their source, to deal with the demons? You are a strange person.]

“What’s interesting?”

[I usually ask the gods for divine power, but I don’t reach out to darkness, which is the same power.]

“The power of God is already enough.”

The saintess, Min-yeong, will be there, and Onin will be with her.

In Fantasia, priests and paladins are waiting to join.

[There is no reason why I should betray the demons and lend you my strength.]

“But, you are also an element that makes up this world together with the elements, right? You don’t want to upset the balance, do you?”

As I asked, the flame in front of me started to burn even louder.

[Something human! Are you trying to teach me! Even if the five elements chose you, don’t forget that you are just a human!]

I felt my whole body tighten with Zofos’ cry that rang in my head.

“Kuk.”

From noble mtl dot com

Not only that, but the fear and terror from deep inside began to rise.

Worries about losing my people, doubts and fears of someone’s betrayal began to wander in my head.

“stop!”

As I wrapped my head and knelt down, the darkness disappeared and a new scene unfolded.

“Seo, Seo Jun-ah!”

“Seojun hyung!”

The scenes before the regression that I didn’t want to see again.

“Seo Jun-ah, take care of Min-yeong.”

“You two must live alone!”

“Here, leave it to us.”

The faces and voices of parents I thought I would never see again.

Kyaaah!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

As the two incidents overlapped, all kinds of screams, monsters’ voices, and traitors’ laughter began to overlap.

[Face the darkness! This is your darkness!]

It was painful.

They said it was already in the past, but they conceited that they had changed the future, but there was no law preventing this from happening again.

something that can happen anytime.

The fear of thinking like that was eating away at me.

“Yoo Seo-jun!”

The roaring voice of Gilliant, heard as it gradually engulfed in darkness.

I woke up.

“I am not afraid.”

straightened my mind

I controlled my mana and cleared my head.

I faced the various darkness within me that unfolded as illusions.

And I started to remove the anxiety factors one by one.

“I know. At least that regression can’t be the answer.”

[joy.]

“Human beings always make mistakes and live by correcting them. Sometimes I avoid problems and sometimes I cover them up.”

Things I’ve learned from living in the world.

things I felt.

things you’ve experienced.

Because our lives cannot be reversed in front of a wrong choice like a game, we worry, regret, and live with responsibility.

It is a punishment given to humans.

But I got another chance.

turned back

So I had to be more careful.

Because I know there won’t be a fluke that goes back again.

So, I needed more strength.

“That is why I need you, Zofors.”

Before I knew it, all the illusions I had erased were gone, and only one illusion remained.

A scene where everyone is together with happy expressions.

That’s why it was the welcome I feared the most to lose.

I struggled to cover the illusion with darkness, staring straight into the dark blue eyes that were still burning.

“I will swallow even your darkness.”

[…] … .]

Zofors watched me in silence for a while.

How much time has passed?

Zoforth’s voice came into my head.

[The world always pushes back the darkness. But you seem to know why darkness is necessary.]

“The reason humans can develop is because there is darkness.”

Are you afraid to give up?

Are you afraid to run away?

Are you afraid of failing so you won’t try?

It is the darkness, the inner shadows of human beings, that embraces all the negative thoughts of humans.

Humans know that fear.

Trying to overcome it, trying to challenge it, trying to overcome it.

And in the process, humans grow and move forward.

[ha ha ha. I think you know why the force chose you. Interesting human, let’s keep an eye on it.]

“What do you mean?”

[Still, I said I was watching, I didn’t say I was with all my strength.]

At the same time, the darkness surrounding me disappeared and I could see the superb view of the cliff again in front of my eyes.

“Yoo Seo-jun! Are you okay?!”

Gilliant came over and grabbed me by the shoulder and shook me.

I smiled broadly at the messages that appeared before my eyes.

“Yes, first of all, success.”

[Zophos, the element of darkness, has joined.]

[Six elements gathered to form a whole.]

[You can use magic.]

All schedules in the US are over.

It was Jack and Lucas who saw us off at the US military base.

“America owes a great debt to Yoo Seo-jun.”

“It was just a decision to protect my people.”

I replied with a smile at Jack’s thanks.

“It bothers me to go without seeing the funeral ceremonies of those who gave their lives.”

While we were fighting in the US, I found out belatedly that dungeon breaks broke out in many countries.

Korea was one of them.

That’s why I had to go back as soon as possible.

The United States said it plans to hold a joint funeral ceremony to honor the heroes lost in this incident.

“I’ll be pretty busy besides that, but leave that to me. I’ll get it back to normal somehow.”

“If it’s Jack, I think you’ll do well.”

It was sincere.

He was a reliable commander.

As the guard headquarters collapsed, the next building, the prison camp, collapsed in the chaos.

Because of this, the Awoken criminals imprisoned there were released.

Fortunately, the demons did not touch the camp in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

“Yoo Seo-jun, thank you for being with me all this time.”

I took Lucas’ hand and shook it.

“Captain, once this matter is settled, come to Korea to play.”

“I will.”

Lucas smiled and let me go.

“Huh. Farewell, you guys.”

Lee Hwi-hyung was filming a new wave by himself while sending back the marine monsters he had become close with.

After descending into the depths of the sea, the marine monsters disappeared with a flash of light.

This also seemed to be Lee Hui-hyung’s skill.

“Can’t you summon it again with a skill?”

When asked while holding his brother by the shoulder, Lee Hui shook his head.

“Isn’t there such a function?”

Monsters in the field can be summoned and sent back, but they seem to have no summoning ability.

“Let’s stop taking Shinpa and let’s go.”

Blood Demon Han So-yi, who was glaring at us with his arms crossed, said with a quick poke.

We briefly greeted hunters from other countries and got on the plane to Korea.

It was a chartered plane provided by the US military.

[Ah, it’s an airplane again.]

Gilliant grumbled as he went back into the necklace.

*

Waiting for us upon arrival in Korea were welcome greetings and reporters.

So many people gathered that even the questions asked by reporters were buried.

We were escorted by airport agents into a pre-prepared van.

“I heard it at first glance, but it’s no joke.”

“I heard it was broadcast live?”

“That cruel scene?”

It is said that all of our conversations were broadcast live.

Tragedy in other countries is also together.

“Seo Jun-ah, at this level, the government might ask for a statement.”

Lee Hui-hyung said cautiously.

“I guess so.”

In this case, the government side would not have been able to cross the river.

We were at the center of an event that shook the world.

There will be many questions, and in the meantime, there will be many people who want to bite.

“It is not strange even if the hearing is held. I will be busy for a while.”

“I’ll prepare the defense team first.”

“Yes, please.”

Lee Hwi-hyung busily started answering the phone in the moving car.

When we arrived at the Avengers building, the first thing we saw was a person running after smelling us.

wow!

“Ahh! Boone!”

The person who crushed all of the Avengers who went to America continued to lick us.

Hee hee hee, wow! wow!

“Is everyone here? Good job~”

And on top of that person, Kwon Yi-hyeon hyung greeted us with a hearty smile.
